This course will examine statics and strength of materials.CADD applications will be used as a tool to explore and visualize problems and solutions to mechanical and physics problems. Topics will include force vectors, force system resultants, moment of a force, equilibrium of a rigid body, frictional forces, structural analysis, simple trusses, frames and machines, center of gravity, centroid and moment of inertia, strain, stress, mechanical properties of materials and Hooke’s law.
